"An Oklahoma man who was released early from prison broke into a woman’s home this month, cut out her heart, cooked it and tried to feed it to his relatives..."

"... and then killed two of them, the authorities said this week. The man, Lawrence Paul Anderson, who has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the killings, had been sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2017 for a probation violation in a drug case, but public records show that he was granted clemency last year by the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board as part of a mass commutation program."

The NYT reports.

He sounds like a homeless person.

TreeJoe said...

A mass commutation program....

That sounds like a recipe bound to leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Rob said...

He’s been denied bail? Oklahoma is so unwoke.

Lucien said...

Sounds offal.

Lyle said...

Politicians will always let this happen if it garners (I know, I know) them votes. Biden killed 12 Syrians just a couple days ago with bombs.

Lewis Wetzel said...

On the scales of human depravity, this ranks nearly as heavy as a 63 year old man asking his 25 year old subordinate to have sex with him.

Fernandinande said...

Reverse the races (nyt doesn't mention that the heartless victim was a white woman - she might have been a Karen!) and you'd have a hate-crime warranting months of MSM discussion.

Your tax dollars at work.

gilbar said...

they HAVE TO let this person out on bail!

he might get Covid if they force him to be in jail! he could get fever! and Cough!
LET HIM GO!!!

D’oh!

One would almost think our government(s) are predatory and actually hate their citizens.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

white man> it its a white man - we would know. because evil white man.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

let the illegals in... let the criminals out.


don't tax the billionaires

crush the middle-class. tax the deplorables.

give nancy all her pork. call it a stimulus. add Obamas tight rope walking smooth talk... just to lull you to sleep.

wendybar said...

But let's release more, and let them vote!!!

MadTownGuy said...

I wonder if this was foreseeable. He was imprisoned for a probation violation in a drug charge. He had several prior incarcerations, charges unspecified, but no word on what, if any, psychiatric evaluations were done.

JAORE said...

With the current trajectory of America he will likely get a show on the Food Network.

Achilles said...

Just two more COVID deaths.

I am sure they will be included in whatever death counts they are pedaling now.

Assistant Village Idiot said...

Probation violation in a drug case? Twenty years? Something is missing from the story, and I'm not going behind the paywall.

Achilles said...

Do they ever point out that he was released because of COVID and the "safety of prisoners" in the article?

Just curious, this story has been around for a while and the NYT is just trying to pretend they weren't ignoring it.

BUMBLE BEE said...

Quite compassionate, eh?

Leland said...

Only the heart thing makes this abnormal. The rest of the story is all to common: Nearly 70 people in Harris Co. have been killed by someone free on felony bonds

Was his nickname Willie?

Michael K said...

The only oddity is that it was reported in the NY Times.

John Cunningham said...

This case proves that we need to let all murderers out of prison. Anderson struck a blow against White Supremacy! As evil honkies, the dead vermin had it coming. Give Anderson a civil rights medal. Abolish the prisons!

Psota said...

If woke nonsense like this is happening in a " red" state like OK, I have to seriously question the conservative bona fides of some of our right wing jurisdictions.

Drago said...

I will await the input of our resident leftists in order to determine whether or not these murders are "spark of divinity" murders or just plain old murders which can be blamed on Trump. (Added to the next articles of impeachment?)

If the murderer is smart, he will immediately convert to radical islamist supremacist dude that identifies as a woman as that would inevitably lead to a book & movie deal.

Matt Sablan said...

But, at least no one got COVID.

Bob Boyd said...

But, at least no one got COVID.

It was probably counted as a Covid death though.

MadisonMan said...

Did they interviewed people in favor of the mass commutation program as part of the news story?

Lurker21 said...

This gives the phrase "Eat your heart out" new meaning.

Krumhorn said...

In LA County, the new Soros-financed District Attorney is flat refusing to file against criminals with enhancements that would increase the sentences. For example, a guy who shoot two young kids in the head won’t face execution or even life in prison without parole.

It’s hard to game out where the lefties think this sort of thing is going to take them.

"The only oddity is that it was reported in the NY Times."

If you replace "Oklahoma" with "California", I bet they wouldn't touch it.

Yancey Ward said...

I always get paywalled by the NYTimes- did the man have convictions/charges for violence previously? That would tell me the parole board fucked up or not.

MacMacConnell said...

This sounds like some tatted up pierced German gay couple. They like to drug their lover at the kitchen table and slowly carve them up and eat them. They become ONE, which I guess is romantic in a sick demented way, especially in a world that denies evil.

Bad link.

More details without the paywall.

Paul said...

No doubt the 'mass commutation' by the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board didn't even check with the prison guards that see the inmates every day and ask if the inmates were, you know, nuts.

And, of course, this 'parole board' won't pay any price for their mistakes. Government officials never do.

You folks do know police have no requirement to protect any one individual (except the powerful politicians I guess.) SCOTUS has ruled that police protect society as a whole, but you folks... are just out of luck.. And Biden wants to take YOUR GUNS.

Meanwhile nutso felons will be released from prison and Antifa riots will be ignored.

hombre said...

Community based corrections. Despite evidence linking reductions in crime to incarceration of offenders (Duh!), public officials continue to save prison costs by releasing dangerous assholes early under one scheme or another. Cost to their subsequent victims are calculated only in gross cases like this one.

The biggest crock is “prison reform” or “criminal justice reform,” code phrases for allowing black male offenders to return to, or remain in, the community. You know the group that is less than 10% of the population who commit a majority of the violent crimes in America’s cities - that group. It’s a kind of reparation you know. Trouble is, it’s mostly paid by their black victims.

Spiros said...

Crim Law -- people won't commit crimes because the penalties are substantial enough that the possibility of getting caught is a deterrent. But what if there is no deterrence? Criminal deviants are overwhelmed by the crazy logic that runs their lives. Deviants can't stop and we won't lock up people for crimes they might commit in the future. So we have a problem.

Can Big Tech save us? Anti-fraud algorithms have already eliminated most credit card fraud. And spam filters intercept most garbage emails. But what about something more massive and frightening, something like the Minority Report? In that movie, “precogs” foresee all crime and direct a special squad to pick up suspects before the crime is committed. Can Big Tech accomplish something similar with iris scanners, huge databases and behaviour prediction software. Consider the following:

Smart cameras in college dormitories determine if the man following a woman walking back to her room is actually a rapist.

What's the next step?

Tina Trent said...

Thank God it wasn’t a hate crime because Elena Kagan made sure such “overkill” as mutilating a body wouldn’t count towards hate enhancement if the victim was a white heterosexual woman — at the behest of Bill Clinton and Eric Holder. Had the victim been trans, or gay, or black, or Asian, or Hispanic, or the right kind of religious minority, or had the offender been a white male or female attacking any minority, then the crime would be defined as inherently worse and worthy of more punishment and more public outcry and more response from the justice system.

We were raised to believe that the most sacred cultural value was achieving equality before the law. Then we took a giant universal crap on that ideal in 1997 and flushed the toilet. And this is precisely how we’ve arrived at the precipice of a fascist state today, with rising-but-concealed numbers of “random” assaults on white heterosexuals brushed under the carpet. People such as Steve Sailor and Colin Flaherty who point this out are drummed from society.

The NYT, as usual downplays his career highlights and speaks to "a drug conviction" rather than:

Now, prosecutors are questioning how Mr. Anderson, 42, who had been incarcerated several times before, became eligible for a sentence commutation, which requires the governor’s approval.

must be reflex. a recitation would make the GOP gov look worse which is the major thrust

"He took the heart back to 214 West Minnesota, Chickasha," an agent with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation told a judge in a request for a search warrant.
"He cooked the heart with potatoes to feed to his family to release the demons," the agent wrote

He had a plan.

Gospace said...

The death penalty should be applied far more commonly than it is, for a wider variety of crimes. Instead of 3 strikes and you're out- 3 strikes and you're dead. Why warehouse them? Dead criminals don't commit more crimes of any kind.

Earnest Prole said...

One word: braise.

The Vault Dweller said...

I think the suspect was in prison on drug crimes but then released as a part of a prison reform deal, which commuted the sentences of many non-violent offenders. I wonder if he became institutionalized while in Prison? I also wonder if whether he took so many drugs that he made himself crazy.

I'd bet my last dollar that the drug in question was methamphetamine. When things get this deranged, it's always meth,

Joe Smith said...

It's a cookbook!!

On another note, why are notorious murderers referred to by their first, middle, and last names?

Ted Bundy and Charles Manson are notable exceptions.

Of course, there is Sirhan Sirhan...the assassin so nice they named him twice : )

It's only fair we distinguish the infamous from those with the same first and last name.

It’s hard to game out why Ann highlighted this story.

Anyone ever gone crabbin', where you tie a chicken neck to a cord, and drop it into the water off a weathered, wooden bridge waiting for the crabs to come nibblin'? You can see the crabs come nibblin'. Then you slowly pull up the cord, and the crabs ain't gonna let go. Just before you get it to the surface, you slide a net under them and scoop them up.

Anyone ever done that?
